Rick Grimes screen accurate costume

View attachment 776998 *edited to add photo in question*

Im like 99% certain they're 514's from that era. 99% Cotton 1% Elastane stretch, this gives the proper vertical "striping" you can see on Andy's. The patch was most likely removed to prevent any trademark issues, but keep in mind he's constantly wearing that duty belt, so I don't know you'd ever really be able to see it anyways.

I can upload pics of my black 514's compared with the new ones if you like. It was pretty easy to find the right jeans using pictures and comparing fits, as I'm 5'10" around 155 lbs, so if it was even close to fitting similar to Rick's I knew I was close.

The new 514's are far too baggy in the crotch and thighs, and the 513's look too tight at the ankle. 501's are about the right cut, but they don't make them in a zip fly or stretch denim, so I dug around to find a similar fit to 501's. Turns out the 514's were actually supposed to mimic the 501's with a zip fly, and being marketed and "slim straight" where now they're just labeled as being straight. If you try to find them on google you'll get 511's as the result, and those are WAY to skinny to be right.

So far I've been through three pairs of 514's from different years, with different denim mixes, and I already owned a pair of 511's to reference. Im pretty confident I've got *the* jeans found.
Would love some pics! I have the 514 aswell, no idea what version. They are too big for me ( just tons of folds ) I also have the Levis 511 but they don't feel right,and if i try to use the boots with them they stick out a lot.

Side note, with how Levi's does their fits, if you go up one size on the inseam, for whatever reason it feels like they fit better in the thighs. Could just be my experience though.

Ill try and get some good photos to show what i'm talking about with the "striping" texture of the denim, and the fit.
 
Alright. I compiled them into albums.

Heres the ones that I think are correct. https://imgur.com/a/lcM4g

notice the shape of the legs, the grain of the denim, and how the overall fit is very slim.

and the new 514's: https://imgur.com/a/l57RL

The fit is overall much baggier, and the texture of the denim isn't right, giving them a more flat appearance.

I'll try to get images of them on, but were getting carpet put in right now, so there's not any real space to do it unless I head outside. I'll try to get someone to take them for me.

That does look right, i have the new ones, any idea where to get the right ones?

eBay is they easiest. That’s where I got those. For reference mine are 32x34 in the older ones and 32x32 in the new ones. Newer Levi’s fit longer so keep that in mind also. Just search “Levi’s black 514 (insert size here)” and there’s usually a few different styles floating around. Make sure there’s a photo of the tag though so you can make sure its 1% elastane and not some flimsy stretch denim that won’t look right.

I’ll try to get better pics today, but no promises.
 
I know screen accurate is the goal but I was looking for something at least similar to the shirt he's been wearing in s8 and I could t tell if it was more grey or blue but I did find this relatively cheap alternative (Levi's is expensive!) shirt from mossimo at target that could be a good fit. Might dye it to more closely match or just grime it up a bunch

Looking for his axe pouch, carry strap and s8 machine gun (airsoft version) as well. If I find them or something similar would anyone like I post them here as well?

Strap? you mean the sling? That's simple. It's a one point bungee sling, google it and you will find it or Ebay. I'm not sure what rules you have for the gun, but i have a ful metal cyma mp5 exact name is Cyma "Cm.041B", might not be allowed in to cons though, not sure how the rules are for you guys. As an alternative for the axe pouch you can use the "Navy Nite Ize belt holster" ,

Edit: Make sure the sling fits the mp5 you are gettingSling.jpgcloseenough.jpgMP5.jpg

Does anybody know the source of this shirt from season 2? I've been looking all over for it and haven't gotten anywhere with my searches.

Judging the setup of the shirt and the chest pockets with a seam running vertically at the center of it, I'd say that's most definitely a Salt Valley shirt. I've never seen that particular Salt Valley shirt appear on eBay though.

That was my thought also, but having not seen it show up on eBay or google throws me off. It's almost certainly a Salt Valley. Between the vertical pocket seam, the pocket shape, and the over all build of the shirt, I doubt it's any other brand.

I would really love to get a hold of this shirt, too. I already got myself the personal "Holy Grail" Season 3 Salt Valley shirt, so this is my next goal.
 
Got some more stuff. No new ID's but found 2 shirts that are custom made so there is no need to keep looking for them. First off is the shirt he used in Season 6 episode 1 dis one is.jpg and the all so famous shirt from season 3 dis one too.png
 
This is great guys, we now know 5 of the screen accurate shirts, https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171214/1aa14156885eff7d35b23bf8d1f1b6a1.jpg

What's the black Levi's shirt doing there? I haven't seen it in any episode (though I haven't watched season 8 as of yet).

I have a hunch that the shirt from season 6 is a Ralph Lauren shirt. He switches to the blue Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Shirt in this season as well. I've seen a number of Ralph Lauren shirts with a similar design:

As for the beige/khaki Season 3 shirt, well Eulyn Womble also said earlier that she bought the season 4 suede Rick Grimes jacket in a thrift store and altered it and that the jacket only existed on the show. Although she may not have completely lied about it she did make the impression that this was a one of a kind jacket and did fail to mention that it was basically an altered UGG jacket from maybe a year back or an altered jacket from a well-known brand. If she said she made that shirt it could very well mean that the shirt is an altered shirt from an existing brand with maybe a dye job.
 
The Levi's shirt as previously mentioned is worn the majority of season 8, the red tab on the pocket has been removed and the whole thing has been lightened and distressed.
